Merry, Merry, Christmas!!!

No news has not been good news.

No news has meant things have not looked great,

or good

or even mediocre.

No news has been,

we can't put things into words right now,

it has been so rough.

Two weeks ago the doctor put Shauna on a new chemo that has not been used
with her type of cancer before.
The insurance company won't even approve the I.V. version of this chemo,
so he is giving her oral samples.

She is also going through radiation.

Today we got the best Christmas present we could get.

Shauna's latest CAT scan came back and for the first time in this battle with cancer, ALL of her tumors have shrunk.

We are giving praise and thanksgiving to our God above!

Much love~
Debbie and Chasity
